- In light of Jordan Henderson leaving Liverpool to join Al-Ettifaq, torching his own reputation and being dropped from England's Euro 2024 squad in the process, HITC Sevens takes a look at a number of transfers which ruined footballer's careers.

After you jinxed Leverkusen, I’m expecting Henderson to now get a sudden England call up and score the Euro winning goal.
Nah , that was tiago
He isn't the Irish Guy. He had Ipswich relegated from the Championship this season.
No such thing as being jinxed
Superstitious waster, its literally just cultural brainwashing, anyone not affected by such idiotic notions are never affected by being "jinxed"
In a group match.
Still stunneed by that Atalanta performance.
To be fair if Henderson just came out and said "I'm going for the money" more people probably would have given him credit for being honest, it's the fact he doubled down on his virtue signalling
No they would not have be real he would’ve been called a money grabber he should’ve just stayed quiet
@Rockydenzel some would have, but you're right being quiet would have been preferable to doubling down
7 players who are legends in their own country, but unknown abroad.
Example: Willem van Hanegem is often ranked above Gullit, Van Basten and Bergkamp in the Netherlands, but pretty unknown abroad.
I love this idea!
Matt Le tissier is one for England perhaps
Feyenoord legend
Torbjorn Nilsson for Sweden. Leandro for Brazil (you see a lot of people claiming he was their best ever full back, but he is hardly known at all elsewhere (I only found out about him looking up Zico stuff)). Ricardo Bochini for Argentina. Maybe Manuel Amoros for France.
But people from those countries would have to drop in here to confirm those, I guess. I imagine the one for England would be Paul Gascoigne, maybe?
Vassilis Hatzipanagis, dubbed "The Greek Maradona", a magician on field, who in the end decided to stay loyal to his club instead of joining interested clubs like Arsenal, Porto and others. COPA90 has a nice video on him already, but Alfie's version can be even better.
The ongoing Henderson slander is a highlight of this channel, I love it so much
That's the best part: it's not slander if it's true. It's pretty much Alfie dissing him at any given chance lol
@@plasticwalnut7650 You make fun of him but without him you wouldnt even know what football was. Truly a visionary!
@@GinkgoPete Of course! Hendo here is so iconic here in the bayou that his mere visage alone is akin to God's Face for those interested in soccer
Alfie: Without further...
Me: Yes?
Alfie: hesitation
Me: Which footballer is named Hesi Tation?
Tation never lived up to his potential IMHO - he often spent too much time holding the ball and not passing and scoring as much as he should've done.
Tation destroyed his career with a premature premier league move. If he'd stayed in Italy a couple more seasons it could all have been so different.
Me: waiting for without further Adu
Alfie: without further hesitation
😂
Time to unsubscribe
@@najpierwmasapotemniewiemwhy? Alfie didn't want to lie to everyone
Disappointing: 100
It was perfect foreshadowing that Adu was included in the video !!
😂
He resisted the Freddy Adu pun! He's perfect for this video.
13:05
I was intrigued by Alfie's word choice at the beginning. I knew it was intentional.
@@stevencooke6451chekhov's pun
It's funnier coz that in itself is a pun
Sorry for explaining your joke I just love it so much 😂😅@@VictorMurp
Alfie rinsing Henderson is football heritage at this point
Or Alfie saying that Owen is weird and half elaborating why, implying that there are infinite reasons for that
@manu_val😂 that's actually hilarious
Making fun of Jordan Henderson might be easy, but he has done so much to make football popular everywhere.
Im german and me and my friends had never heard of football until the local news reported "Jordan Henderson will move to Saudi Arabia".
We asked ourselves "Why is he moving there?" and the research into that lead us to football, we then hosted a small 16 team tournament to celebrate his move to Saudi Arabia.
What was the tournament called? Bundesliga!
Underrated comment 😂
Könnte tatsächlich von TV Total stammen, bravo 👏😂
Outstanding sir
Interesting view...
I used to be one of henderson's top supporters, I loved it when he lifted the premier league in 2020 but i really didnt know he such a bellend until he was revealed to be one.
Clearly he isn't a bellend , someone like Adebayor ,or Joey Barton is.
Henderson made the same mistake as Corbyn ,Megan and Rashford....he got caught up in the mania created by the ring wing press to cover their abysmal politicians.
Rashford could win England 3 world cups ,scoring 3 hatricks in the finals against Germany France and oh let's say the EU in 2038 ,and about 40% of England will still forever despise him.....
It's almost like public figures are compulsive liars and promote things they don't care about to be liked
I feel exactly the same bud... a money hungry, delusional Ahole
As a Liverpool fan, it was indeed quite disappointing to see him praise a dictatorship and lie about “building the project” and so on for some bags of cash
@olm8829 as a Liverpool fan myself, I feel the exact same way.
Leaving out the la Sala clips is a crime
"Fortunately, I won't be including any clips of Bentley serving drinks"
you mean UNfortunately, Alfie. I was waiting for at least one. Booo.
As an American, a career move considered to be disastrous in the eyes of many MLS fans has to be German legend Lothar Matthaus's move to the NY/NJ Metrostars (known today as New York Red Bulls) in 2000. The American soccer media were hyping his signing as the biggest in league history at the time & were expecting him to have the same impact on MLS that Pele had on the NASL even though Matthaus was near the end of his career. However Matthaus only played in 16 games for the Metrostars scoring no goals & was known for vacationing in St. Tropez when he was supposed to be rehabbing his back. After the MLS season ended, he retired having made zero impact on the Metrostars. Another move considered to be disastrous when it comes to MLS is Freddie Ljungberg joining the Seattle Sounders in 2009 where he was given a designated player contract (meaning he would be paid more than the average player according to league rules) even though he had spent the majority of the 2 years after he left Arsenal injured. Ljungerg's time in Seattle was not good as he only scored two goals & spent most of the time injured. As a Sounders supporter, he is considered to be one of the worst signings we have ever had & this is the same club that revived the careers of Dijmi Traore, Obafemi Martins, Kasey Keller & Clint Dempsey.
Matheus had enough credit at that point for it not to sully his rep. Same as Pirlo, Henry et al
To be fair I feel really sorry for Van De Beek. When he played for man utd it was often in the 80th minute which didn't help him much, he needed to start games.
Yep, it totally wasn't his fault. It was Man Utd and Solskjaer who just signed him with no plan and didn't actually want to play him
The worst part was that sometimes when playing in a 2-man midfield he'd do all right (certainly better than Fred or McTominay) for the minutes he was given, then Solskjaer would bench him for no reason for like 7 games straight after that. Even in the loss to Watford that got Solskjaer sacked, I remember Van de Beek playing well (or at least decently well) after yet another disasterclass from the starting McFred partnership.
Van De Beek is the modern Jordi Cruyff.
@@Di7manya That is just not correct at all. VDB was at no point, better than Fred or McTominay and showed largely nothing the whole time. he didnt get more game time because he was shit in the time he was given
@@RhinosaurGaming Except it is. McFred was one of the worst midfield pairings in the league and they both inexplicably kept starting. In that very Watford game I mentioned for example he was better than both and the team looked much better with him on the pitch than with McFred. He didn't get even half the opportunities those other 2 got despite them putting out dreadful performances week in and week out.
Roysten Drethe, When he was playing for everton he was renting (yes renting not owning) a house owned by dutch liverpool winger Ryan Babble. My mate worked for a kitchen company and was hired to design a new kitchen for him... whilst there the entire basement was being ripped out and when my mate asked Roy about it, he said 'As im not aloud to party in public im building my own night club in the basement'.... So Im guessing Ryan Babble now has his own free nightclub in his Cheshire mansion... and guess what... no permanent transfer materialized and off back to real he went lol
Who the heck is Ryan Babble ?
Wait, did you mixed Ryan Babel with Markus Babbel ?
@@iori1303anyone with half a braincell will realize which Babel he's talking about
Grenthe seems as if he would have self-destructed just about anywhere.
Jack Rodwell and Scott Sinclair to Man City for me. Killed their careers.
They were never going to be superstars regardless of where they moved to! 😂
yeah Rodwell was always massively overrated for me. you may be right about Sinclair
Rodwell was already really bad for everton at that point.
Some names that I can think of that weren't mentioned:
- Serhiy Rebrov to Tottenham
- Rinat Dasajev to Sevilla
- Afonso Alves to Middlesbrough
Bosko Balaban to Aston Villa
He mentioned Rebrov at the end
One transfer that always comes to mind for me that would fit this perfectly was Diego Ribas from Werder Bremen to Juventus in 2009. His career never quite recovered from that aside from a short stint in Spain for one season, which is tragic considering how brilliant he was during his Werder Bremen years...
"I'm not sharing clips of David Bentley selling his clubs" - Soz, Alfie, you lost me.
Currently racking my brain to remember which video that was
@@maximtrickettSame, watched too many of his videos (all of them)
* "I'm not sharing clips of David selling cocktails" - do a quick search, Bentley now appears in adverts for bars where he can be seen pouring cocktails.
@@robwilde7482 oh I know, I just wanted the fan service 😭
@@Aurainmaker 😆😆 haha sorry I thought you meant "sorry you lost me" as in I don't get it, but I'm all caught up now 😆👊🏻
VfB Stuttgart finished 2nd, meaning Bayern finished 3rd this season! They've been relegated twice in recent years, only narrowly surviving last season. They seem to have an interesting story ⚽️ Over to you, Alfie 👀
I'm not going to stop, I am determined for this video.
Stuttgart have been slept on
Philips’ downfall was crazy and it shows how massively important confidence is to football. Guy was starting for England consistently and now he can’t even get game time for West Ham. He’s the same person and only a bit older so he should still be at the peak of his powers. But his confidence is shattered I think :(
One wonders if heading back to Leeds might be his best bet? It seems to have worked well for Sam Byram.
Serves him right…
Any player that goes running to Citeh instead of telling them to stick their money up their arses because they don’t want anything to do with the corrupt pricks deserves their careers to go down the shitter
@@GorgeDawes yeah maybe Leeds or somewhere like Ipswich where they are super pleased to have him (think Barkley to Luton, which has got him back to Villa again)
I think Sebastian Deisler to Bayern München was a major omission from this list. He not only should've been included, but possibly even on the podium.
He was the most talented German midfielder of the 2000s, becoming international at just 20. They even called him the future of German football and led Hertha to their first trophy since the 1930s.
But even before he even arrived to FC Holywood, he received major criticism for how he left Berlin. At Bayern he got injured frequently, he lost his confidence completely, suffered from burn-out and depression and retired at age only 27.
Comparing his career before and after his transfer, it's hard to see how it could've went worse for him...
Marko Marin to Chelsea also, most talented player in the early 10's but injuries etc spoiled that.
Deisler was a great prospect in Championship Manager 2000 😄
I'm gonna be real for a second, I'm just here for Alfie dunking on Henderson again.
Me too. Screw you, Jordan.
Please do a vid on the 7 biggest teams that flopped. Teams that were expected to dominate and yet completely and utterly failed. I think of the galacticos and psg when I imagine this.
Alfie would take like 20 minutes just to explain the parameters he used to label a team as a flop.
Miralem pjanić to Barcelona definetly should at least be an honorable mention,
He has been a shell of his former self ever since, playing in UAE league
Donny van de Beek could end up in the Bundesliga of course, but at a club like 1. FC Heidenheim or Holstein Kiel or Fortuna Düsseldorf (who are most likely going to get promoted)...
Alfie: without further hesitation
Me: oh dang, Freddy Adu might unironically be in this video
I literally cannot stand Henderson. The fact that a country will throw people in jail or kill them for loving someone is one of the most evil things I have ever heard of. And for someone - who has claimed to stand with the very people that are being arrested and/or killed in said country - to then move there, take their money, and shut up, is absolutely egregious. Some issues supersede culture, nationality, race, and religion, and quite frankly, one is either an idiot if they can't recognise this, a coward if they don't have the guts to stand up against it, or simply an outright bigoted asshole. Why is this so difficult for some people to comprehend?
@Antonio-hb8rd the consequences of your actions are not a genocide. Grow up
They don't do it for loving someone
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 637)
I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored.
If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
I admire your dedication and commitment, I will comment anytime I see this as I would also love to see this video.
You do realise he probably doesn't read the comments anymore right?
robert huth
In no particular order:
Ozil
Gundogan
Lehmann
Ballack
Kilnsman
Hamann
And perhaps a rogue shout for Robert Huth
At this point it's just sad because he's not doing it lol
Top 7 ridiculously good squads who disappointed everybody
I think of that 2007-9 Valencia with Juan Mata, David Silva, David Villa, Jordi Alba, albioĺ, Joaquin, morientes, etc, coached by Unai Emery
Who finished 10th and 6th in La Liga, only getting a Copa del Rey to show for it
Or that 2000-2 Brescia who with Baggio, Pirlo, Luca Toni, Pep Guardiola, and many others finished 8th and 13th in Serie A
Disappointed there were no specials about drinks in this video.
Will Grigg going to Sunderland would definitely qualify for this.
The move destroyed his career, he turned from of the best Lwague One goalscorers to now playing in the National League
Freddy Adu had a wonderful career in Football Manager 2005, going on to win the Champions League with Chelsea and Real Madrid, while winning the World Cup with the USA.....
Pogba to Manchester United has to be up there. Before leaving Juventus he was not only considered one of the biggest talents in world football, he was already one of the best midfielders around. He also was on the ballon d'or shortlist 3 or 4 times in a row before joining
the thing is he didn't play bad, it was Manchester United who are not very good
@@justhuy7960 Spoken as someone who clearly didn't watch United. Pogba couldn't put a shift in even if his mom was on fire in the stretford end
At Van De Beek's part I seriously thought Alfie said "I would suck my agent and do anything in my power to get back to Ajax" :D Than realized he probably meant "sack"
Huehehe
Fernando Redondo to Ac Milan deserves a mention, suffering a knee injury and not playing for 2 and a half years
To be fair that's not the fault of the move itself. His injury could/would've occurred while at any team.
Redondo was an incredible player in his day, so underrated, he never seems to get mentioned...
@@alangrace8628 Real Madrid baller
Here’s a few in the women's game:
Alex Greenwood: Manchester United to Lyon
Nikita Parris: Lyon to Arsenal
neither ruined their whole career though, they're both doing fine now in Manchester so wouldn't fit this video (apart from being women obviously, although he might start including female footballers, who knows)
The shock of the F-bomb beep at 17:30 had me pissing myself, perfect emphasis, you know it's got to be bad if it's got you breaking your composure.
me too 😂😂
Alfie, you are usually meticulous in your research but you missed a part of the Kalvin Phillips at West Ham story. He was photographed giving the middle finger to West Ham fans who questioned his ability as he was getting onto the team bus after the Newcastle game. I don't think he played for them again after that
Back in Neil Franklin's day footballers were owned by the clubs like slaves. The maximum weekly wage was £10 (skilled tradesman wages) while the footballer's value was worth a lot lot more (a bid of £30,000 was rejected for him). No wonder that players would move to other countries to get money. They even immigrated to USA/Australia to get NORMAL jobs that were paying more.
Eden Hazard going to Real is not even on the list? Guy was among the best players in the world at Chelsea and then completely vanished
Royston Drenthe was Renato Sanches before Renato Sanches
But I'm not sure that any move ruined his career. He most probably did it on his own.
Renato sanches was just cursed with injuries and a premature move. Drenthe had serious issues
Your channel is one of the best channels, on RUclips. And your humour is on point!
Love the volume of uploads. Alfie is having a strong summer season.
David Bentley cocktail reference was legendary 😂😂
It's not really surprising that a footballer would be stupid enough to use LGBT rights in Saudi Arabia as an excuse for taking the money.
Jack Rodwell only got a mention at the end but he’s honestly lucky to not have two places on this list for his moves to Man City and then somehow getting so much worse at Sunderland after
I think he was just really overrated from day one, he was rarely more than workmanlike for Everton but City bought him probably because they thought he'd improve. But he didn't.
Deferring your wages of 300,000 a WEEK to avoid paying uk tax should be criminal.
Never expected to see Limmy feature in a HITC Sevens video!
all the chelsea mentions were legit but i feel like barkley deserves a pretty high spot on that list, going from a rising star and england international to needing to revive his career on a make-good contract with luton this year.
When Sancho joined United I thought to myself:doesn't he watch the news? United wrecks players careers and then blames the players
Even without the underlying hypocrisy, Hendo's move to Saudi was just a plain stupid idea from start to finish, made even worse by that interview he gave to The Athletic.
He and/or his partner and kids must have been hating it out there for him to not stick it out for 6 more months so he could pocket close to £4 million.
I think its about time for a video about the ftf (tunisian football federation) and its corruption alfie , its such a mess
Videos for you to consider
- what on earth is going on at inverness Caledonian thistle
From third place and winning Scottish cup to Scottish league one
You Haven’t had a Scottish team in this series so you might want to.
- Clapton CFC
A fan owned team and their story
You do like a non league video at times for the viewers
- the rise of bashundhara kings
How they won last five Bangladesh premier League now
- last suggestion would be your q and a video 😊
Can't believe ICT went bust right now, much like Rangers in 2012.
Long time ago, they caused a major headlines in Scottish football after beating Celtic in the Scottish Cup with the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious references.
This list should’ve been entirely comprised of Chelsea deals with a sequel comprised of Barcelona and United deals in recent years, and a third comprised of Chinese League and a fourth comprised of Middle East/Russian league transfers. 🤭
7 most money motivated transfers ( greediest, unloyal, sell-outs) of all time.
I can think of some names. Fabien Delph to Man City. Oscar to China, Henderson to Saudi probably
@@dannymerrittmusic Yeah Henderson was what made me think about it.
Literally all of the transfers to Saudi and Qatari leagues. Also, Chinese league. And Man City.
If I remember correctly he did do a video on players who where most money motivated or something like that. Been a while back though,
Hulk, Lavezzi, Alex Teixeira
Talking about ruined careers, can we get a list of ruined careers that can _arguably_ be attributed to a single incident? One example would probably be Karius's mistake against Real Madrid in the UCL final.
To be fair, that was Ramos' doing.
I am very happy that you started paying attention to Yugoslav/Serbian football. Red Star Belgrade had so many splendid players and so did their main city rivals Partizan Belgrade (Mijatovic, Jokanovic, Katanec, Zahovic, Milosevic, Kezman, Vukic, Mance, etc.)
5:27 - wait, no Freddy Adu joke? ;(
13:15 - ... aaand that's why xD
Eden Hazaed not on this list is genuinely questionable lol
he did mention him at the end at least
pretty much everything i know about football i have learned from this channel, keep up the good work alfie 👍
Danny Drinkwater to Chelsea
Alexander Hleb to Barcelona
Wilfred Bony to Man City
James Rodriguez to Real Madrid
All deserved honorable mentions
I did see Hleb play well a couple of times for Barça, but yes, nowhere near his Arsenal form
As a Portimonense fan I cannot begin to tell you how much I love Nakajima, my dog's name is literally Shoya, but although his move to Qatar was pretty sad from a footballing perspective, he still played with a lot of love for the game and always had a smile when he played for both Portimonense and Al Duhail. The real transfer that was dreadful for him was his later move to Porto, since not only did he not actually know any Portuguese, never having been a problem at Portimonense due to its relations with the Japanese market and a few half japanese half brazilian staff players who helped with translation, he started playing under Sergio Conceição, who altough a good manager he is not the manager you want a happy player playing under, after that Nakajima had a lof transfers and you could see his heart was not in the sport as it used to when he was loaned for half a season back to Portimonense. Sério Conceição has a special place in hell for ruining his career he was insanely professional and gifted and Al Duhail was not where he lost that for sure
I just want to let you know Alfie that you mentioning the chance of hearing about La Sala was all I needed to find the video with all the clips and re-watch it
When Drenthe came to Everton, I couldn't believe that we landed him. Then I understood why. He was nothing but a head case. Let's not also overlook the suspicions regarding Adu's age when he became professional. His birth certificate may have said he was 14 at the time but I'd say it was questionable.
Came to Henderson. Stayed for the 5 minute introduction
And then you have Harry Kane. No matter what move he does, it is always a 'disaster' and ending without a trophy 😂
This really really needs a part 2 to explore those honourable mentions! I was so shocked to not see Brolin & Denilson in the top 7. Perhaps a premier league top 7 of these ?
Jean-Kevin Augustin cost Leeds over 40 million and he only made three appearances and since then he’s only score six goals, thats disastrous.
Hes done an entire video on this titled "The Worst Signing of All Time"
I think in another video Alfie mentioned him as the worst signing of all time or something similar
It was pretty bad for him as a player but he is still playing for FC Basel, which is not an awful level. He didn't become the next great thing but his career didn't go from Hero to Zero like most people in the video.
This signing really was far more disasterous for the club than for the player really
@@galacticjellyfish9971 he’s done a video on Darko Pancev as well and he’s on here
@@samuelschonenberger six goals in four years as a striker, yeah he’s definitely playing well.
Kaka to Real had to be there,he was a world class player ballon dor winner and mourinho mistreated him
Shocked that Eden Hazard isn't mentioned here! The Premier League's best player at the time becoming the most expensive signing in Real Madrid history and given the legendary No. 7, and the stint was so bad that it essentially caused him to retire. It's one of the worst transfers of all time and one rare blunder in Madrid's recent history given how much money they paid and his expectation since he was in his prime at the time.
Bonucci to Ac Milan easily, as well as Fernando Redondo to Ac Milan, Rivaldo, Taye Taiwo to Ac Milan can be included as well.
Would have put Adrian Mutu in here as well. That drug bust at Chelsea was crippling for him. 😅
Coutinho to Barcelona / Torres to Chelsea / Veron to Man United / Stojkovic to Marseille / Riquelme to Barcelona / Pepe to Arsenal / Melo to Liverpool (1 year loan spell - played 13 minutes in total lolol) / Mendieta to Lazio / Markovic to Liverpool / Shevchenko to Chelsea / Woodgate to Real Madrid / Mutu to Chelsea / Carroll to Liverpool / Sanchez to Man United / Dembele to Barcelona
Gotta say Alfie this might be your best written video yet
Man pulled out a random don from 1950
Henderson going to Saudi Arabia makes WWE heel turns feel more realistic.
Henderson couldn't have picked a more suitable place, in Saudi Arabia they use sports to improve their image and likewise Henderson used gay rights to boost his profile - he doesn't care about gay rights in the slightest, he pretended to in order to make himself look and feel better. He is a disgrace.
European 11vs South America 11
African 11 vs Asia 11
It can be since 2000, currently, or all-time
Any of those would be great
The funny thing is, I was not happy at the beginning because I was waiting for the further adu joke.
What about his (Henderson) contribution to the England project? England ungreatful.
I did not expect to encounter a Franz von Assisi reference in a football video. Well played, Sir.
Kenneth Vermeer, a Ajax goalkeeper who moved to the rivals in Rotterdam. When Ajax played Feyenoord in the Johan Cruijff ArenA, a doll, dressed in the kit of former Ajax goal keeper Vermeer was hung by the neck from the second row of the stadium 💀.
Alfie showing restraint in the intro to not plug his book and to not make the Freddie Adu pun
I’d say Joao Felix to Atletico should get a mention. Transfer fee was too high and has made moving somewhere else permanently difficult because they can’t recover the cost.
Me: HITC sevens how bad have Chelsea been at signing players?
HITC Sevens: yes
Me: How bad was Donny Van de Beek's transfer to Manchester United?
HITC Sevens: yes
😅😅😅😅😅
Darko panchev was basically the first meme before memes were a thing on football Italia in the mid nineties with his constant insane missing of sitters
Kalvin Phillips conduct in a West Ham shirt is far more suspicious for match fixing than Paqueta and that's saying something.
Impressed with the amount of Limmy in this one.
It's funny how much hate Henderson gets for supporting a group to stop getting hate from that very same group.
Royston Drenthe is the biggest "streets actually forgot" name ... not heard that one in a while .
the greatest dropoff in form I've seen since I've watched football was Alexis Sánchez to Man U - he went from consistently 20-25 goals a season for Arsenal to around 5 and clearly wasn't interested any more. Although I believe he's been a bit more successful at subsequent clubs, he's never recaptured the form he had from his Arsenal days and before
Freddy Adu is the only player I've ever boo'd that played for my club when he was at Phila Union. He was AWFUL, lazy, and actively ran away from the ball
Loving the Limmy cameo!
I'd like to add, Samed Yeşil to Liverpool.Great youth international, joined liverpool from leverkussen in 2012. Never played in 4 years. Currently in the german 5th tier. Injuries did play a part though.
That Shoya Nakajima mention is why you're the footballing youtuber GOAT, he could've been so great. What a waste
"Without further hesitation" it's not coincidence that considering the theme of the video, Alfie intentionally avoided giving us the usual punnery to mention Freddy Adu. A dictatorial move from the leader of the so called people's channel smh
(Yes I know he's in the list😂)
7 best players who have barely played a game this season (excluding injuries)
Video idea Alfie, best player outside the top 4/6 in every PL season?
Philippe Coutinho should have been an honorable mention. He did win a UCL with Bayern but if he stayed at Liverpool, he could have gone down as a prem great. He is now known as one of the worst transfers ever.
The Hendo move being a personal disaster (cash notwithstanding) was so telegraphed you’ve got to ask who his close friends and advisers are.
